Flying with skis and snowboards...

Ipecac · 01-30-2003, 10:03 PM

we're flying to a snowy-destination in a few weeks and i was wondering how to get our skis/boards there safely.

i'm sure some of you have done this before. any recommendations? we have un-padded snowboard bags (one for each board) and may get something for 2 sets of kids' ski's.

the air canada site said we're allowed to pack boots in with each set of skis/board.

- should we stuff clothes or towels in the board bag?
- should we buy some padded bags?

anything else?

I would wrap your stuff in towels, don't be afraid to stuff the bags full of towely padding, it would suck very much to damage your board/skis on the trip over there.
Make sure you're name is clearly labelled on the bags too. I would imagine it would be a good target for theivery.
Have a good trip

IF you have a ski or snowbard bag, stuff it with padding, and make shure you have a name tag on it, like what was mentioned by broken fushion. Have an awsome trip man!

Carry it on your shoulders in the airport, and swing around suddenly a lot.
